An unexpected surprise!!

As many other satisfied customers have mentioned in their reviews, I was another one who was quite reluctant to part with my money without seeing the car. But true to their word, LHD Supermarket delivered and delivered well on the Audi A3 I had bought from them. The major disappointment / surprise was the tax bill I received from the Spanish government (just over 800 euros) when I wanted to register the car in Spain. Apparently you need to own the car for at least 6 months to be exempt from the tax. The biggest concern was that the car ended up being uninsured for over three months because I was caught in an "insurance limbo". UK insurance companies would not insure me because I was no longer a UK resident (fair enough!!). Spanish insurance companies would not insure because I had UK plates!! In the end everything was sorted out and I am happy with the car but I do believe that the staff at LHD Supermarket should be able to inform potential customers of the potential pitfalls one can come across concerning the registration of vehicles in Europe. I do not expect them to be experts but it is assumed that most customers are going to buy a left-hand drive car to use in mainland Europe and they are dealing with suppliers from all over Europe.
